After the plaintiff's father was killed by an armed security guard, she filed a wrongful death action against the security guard's employer. The complaint alleged both vicarious and direct liability and sought an award of compensatory and punitive damages. The employer maintained that the guard acted in self-defense. After the first trial, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. But the trial court ordered a new trial based on errors in the calculation of damages. A second jury verdict apportioned the greater proportion of fault to the decedent, resulting in a defense judgment.

After a thorough review, we conclude that the trial court did not commit reversible error. So we affirm.
